Dems feelin' their oats in BrazCo

Democrats in Brazoria County have come out of hiding.

They're actually opening campaign headquarters and publicizing the locations. They have even contacted us for help, which is a first in the history of the official weblog for the Petrochemical Underarm of Texas. (The Republicans have never contacted us for help, either, but then they don't really need our help.)

We have no idea why this is happening, but here's the info they asked us to "advertise" -- which, of course, does not involve any transfer of funds in the normal sense of the word "advertise" -- but what the hell.

South Brazoria County:
South Brazoria Democrats will have the grand opening of their headquarters this Sunday, September 7, 2008 following a Meet the Candidates forum.

The Meet the Candidates forum will be held, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Civic Center, 333 Highway 332, Lake Jackson, TX 77566 (map). This is a free event with refreshments provided.
